What is nec?
Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious gastrointestinal condition that primarily affects premature infants. It involves inflammation and death of intestinal tissue, which can lead to severe complications including intestinal perforation, infection, and long-term health issues. Some infants who have consumed certain baby formula products have developed NEC, prompting lawsuits against manufacturers alleging that these formulas increased the risk of the condition without adequate warnings.
Who is Eligible for Compensation?
Your family may be eligible to recover compensation if your child was born prematurely, consumed Similac, Enfamil, or another cow’s milk-based baby formula, and subsequently developed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). It is important to understand that even if your child’s NEC diagnosis occurred years ago, you may still be able to pursue a product liability claim to seek damages for their death or lifelong suffering caused by this condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious condition affecting primarily premature infants. Symptoms of NEC may include vomiting, irregular heart rate, lethargy, and abdominal swelling or pain. Unfortunately, NEC is a significant health concern, ranking as the leading cause of death among prematurely born infants older than two weeks.
The deadline for filing a lawsuit related to NEC varies significantly from state to state. While many states, including California, have a two-year statute of limitations for product liability claims, others may allow three or four years. It’s crucial to understand that these deadlines typically begin from the date you discovered or should have discovered the link between your child’s NEC and the baby formula. Due to the complexities of these laws, consulting with an attorney is essential to determine the specific timeline applicable to your case.
